w/ Riley Downing
Dan Reeder
Dan Reeder is a 70-year-old artist and musician who has spent the past three decades creating a unique blend of folk, art, and DIY innovation from his home in Nuremberg, Germany. Born in Louisiana and raised in California, Reeder’s work spans music, visual art, and homemade instruments—everything from steel-string guitars and banjos to PVC trombones.
Prior to a brief tour in 2024, Reeder hadn’t played on his home soil in fifteen years, preferring to create quietly from a distance—far from the spotlight but never truly unseen. He now performs alongside his daughter, Peggy Reeder, whose harmonies and the pair’s charming, humorous family banter are sure to captivate any audience.
With a sound that combines the similar warm, weathered voice of Ted Lucas with playful, quirky lyrics, Reeder is an outsider artist who marches to the beat of his own drum. He is Oh Boy Records' longest-signed artist after Prine himself, a relationship that began when Prine heard Reeder’s homemade demo and signed him to the label in the early 2000s.
Reeder’s music is self-produced and meticulously crafted, with every note, instrument, and recording detail borne from his hands. Reeder has stayed true to his unconventional path, creating art and music on his own terms, often in solitude. His songs—frequently a mix of dark humor and whimsical insight—carry a distinct charm. Still, twenty years after John Prine first admired his work, Reeder is still having fun.
Riley Downing
You may know Riley Downing from his work with acclaimed New Orleans combo the Deslondes, or perhaps from his similarly rootsy and wide-ranging catalog of songs with the Tumbleweeds – indeed, the Missouri-based singer-songwriter’s ability to set gripping, evocative narratives within soundscapes that weave together country, blues, folk, r&b, bluegrass, rock, soul and whatever else catches his ear is something that, once you hear it, is hard to shake free from. Same goes for that voice – deep, dusty and drawling, it’s an instrument that can stop you in your tracks with its character and expressiveness, as well as through Downing’s knack for laying out complex emotions in plainspoken, direct language.
